Junior Tiger at St Clair Golf Club, 2009

Five-year-old Isaac Hobbs gets his drive away during a Junior Tiger tournament at Dunedin's St Clair golf course in 2009. The tournaments were an initiative by New Zealand Golf to introduce players aged under 15 to the game. Fifteen district qualifying events were held around New Zealand, and the winners played in a national tournament in Manawatū. The national winner qualified for the World Junior Golf Championships in the United States.
